LEGO® KIDSFEST ANNOUNCES 2015 TOUR DATES

Attention LEGO® fans of all ages: LEGO® KidsFest has Announced Tour Cities and Dates for 2015.  The LEGO KidsFest is a traveling LEGOextravaganza featuring millions of LEGO bricks and dozens of hands-on educational and fun building activities for all ages. If you missed it, here is my recap from the Atlanta stop in 2014.  One of our favorite aspects of last year’s stop in Atlanta were the dozens of life-sized LEGO models.  Covering three acres of space, you will also find LEGO brand building areas,the Big Brick Pile, race ramps and more, all covering three acres of space.

This Giant Family Expo Kicks Off 7th Year of National Tour with stops in:

Phoenix, AZ: Feb. 27 – March 1 (University of Phoenix Stadium)
St. Louis, MO:  March 20-22 (America’s Center)
Nashville, TN:  April 17 – 19 (Music City Center)

In its seventh year of touring, LEGO KidsFest is visiting a few less markets this year to focus on its new LEGO Creativity Tour.

“With the pilot of the LEGO Creativity Tour in Biloxi, Mississippi in December, we expect to be sharing some news about new tour dates early next year,” said Vince Rubino, Events Manager for LEGO Systems, Inc.

“Right now through year’s end, our focus is on testing new concepts and continuing to deliver an amazing and fun-filled LEGO experience for families around the country.”

On tour since 2009, previous LEGO KidsFest tour stops have included major cities such as Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, San Jose, Cleveland, Richmond, Phoenix, Portland and more.  Tickets generally sell out and attendance averages 27,000-30,000 visitors at each venue.
